Art ion Which Has Resulted In the Official Determination of the Jlest linking Pointer.

Tho act of Congress authorizing tho examination of the baking powders has resulted in

tnost unprecedented com

pliment to the Royal Baking Powder. Tho tests were mado in tho Government Labratorv at Washington, and the official report shows chat the Royal is superior to all others in leavening strength —being over thirty per cent, above the average. The report also shows tho purity of tlie Royal Powder and the wbolesomeness of its ingredients.

This is probably tho highest compliment of an official character ever paid to a proprietary article, though no more than the great, army of baking powder consumers would expect in behalf of their old friend and favorite.

The result of the official examination as thu= determined, will, of course, make lit? ''Royal" the standard for Government purchases.

Surprised. ".

The fortnightly surprise party of the commercial traveler's association was perpetuated at the expense of William Bonnell and wife on Saturday evening. They had been told to prepare for a surprise on Mr. and Mrs. Geo. F. Hughes and were just preparing to start when the party arrived at their own home. The evening as usual was most pleasantly passed, and as a surprise party it was a grand success.

Lamb Fighting Brookshire, When Brookshire was making his first race for congress there was some confusion as to his name, caused by his changing the style of his signature. There is no question as to what his name is this year. It is Dennis. Mr. John E. Lamb has rechristened him Mr. John E. Lamb's power and authority in his party here can no longer be disputed. What does ho want? That is the question. Ho evidently intends that Brookshire shall not be renominated, but does ho himself want tho nomination? lie wants to go to Chicago as a delegate to the national convention from this district. He will succeed in this, but what else is it that he wants and has not publiclv asked for?—Terrv Tattle K.vprcsx.'

A .Rich Relative Died.

Another citizen of Montgomery county is in luck having lost a rich relative who died without a will. Several weeks iigo Thomas Newell, of Cincinnati, died leaving an estate worth 8150,000, and no nearer relatives than four first cousins. One of theso is James R. Greene, of Waveland, who is in receipt of a vast pile of applications from Cincinnati lawyers who are willing and even anxious to see that he gets his share of his dear departed cousin's estate. Mr. Greone decided to do the proper thing, however, and has given Henry D. Vancleave power of attorney to act for him in the matter. Mr. Vancleave leaves to-morrow for Cincinnati when ho will make appearance for these of the four attorneys, Mr. Greene, of Waveland, Louis P. Greene, of Kirkwood, Cal., and Amanda Beard, of Corpus Christi, Texas.

SATURDAY,

Death of Mrs. J. 0. Edgeworth. The sad news reached this city last Monday that Mrs. John C. Edgeworth had died at her home in Logansport after a long seige of consumption. The funeral occurred next afternoon and the following committee from the Knights Templar attended from this city: 11. M. Harter, Fred Bandel and Rev. G. W. Switzer. Mrs. Edgeworth made many friends during her residence in this city and her death is heard by all with extreme sorrow.

A flappy Reunion.

Jere West has returned from Michigan City where he went to confer with John A. Long on a business matter. While there he had a three hours conversation with his client, W. F. Fettit. Warden French allowed them a private room irtid a most pleasant and profitable evening was passed. Pettit sports a foxy mustache and is very hopeful of a now trial. He is highly eulogistic of the administration of Warden Frenah. The State has not yet tiled its brief with th

supreme court but will have to

have it in by March 8. The court will probably take tho case up at once and render a decision in a short time.

LITTLE FRITZY.

The Wonderful Intelligence Evinced By An Adopted Field Mouso. The earnest student of natural history finds much even in the lower grades of animals to both interest and instruct. Tho investigation of scientists and searchers after truth has developed the fact that many of the animals which we are wont to regard as quito inferior are indeed possessed of many superior intellectual gifts as well as some very amiable and praisworthy traits of character. Few of us, perhaps, would tit first blush be willing to back to tho extent of our cash pile the affirmation that the modest, retiring field mouse is capable not only of intellectual development under the tutelage of a competent instructor, but is also appreciative of kindness to the extent of returning it.

Such, however, gentle reader and honest doubter, is nevertheless a fact. Quod erat demonstrandum et non disputandum est. (Our Latin may not be good but remembar it is in a good cause.) Some weeks ago Mr. Norwood Keen, of Wabash Colloge, while passing through the campus was attracted bv the pitiable and moving spectacle of a poor little field mouso lying upon the snow and as the poet of the

Wabash

would say

"making its moan." Naturally of a compassionate and genial temperament Mr. Keen put the mouse in his pocket and carried it to his room, where the usual restoratives were applied, and it gives us pleasure to say with the most gratifying results. The little creature .soon revived, and opening its eyes looked up into its benefactor's face with a trusting and confiding smile. So taken was Mr. Keen with the mouse's evident intelligence that he resolved to keep it for a pet and bestowing upon it the eminently fitting name of "Fritzy" he prepared for it a little house and berth of cotton. A certain hour each day was devoted to its instruction and the mouse became a most proficient pupil drinking fully ae deep at tho Pyerian spring as at the bowl of milk. Number less were the tricks he learned and the little pet would fairly squeal with de light when some new feat had been ac compelled. He understands every thing said to him and if he only had the gift of speech would doubtless bo charming conversationalist. Tho following anecdote serves as an admirable demonstration of tho mouse's surprising intelligence. Mr. Keen had a few days since an evening engagement at eight o'clock, but being desirous of a nap before it ho lay down at G, sotting his alarm clock for tho appointed hour. In an off-hand manner he told littly Fritzy what no was about, liaruly thinking of course that the animal could understand him. For some cause the alarm clock failed to work, and Mr. Keen was sleeping peacefully away at 8 o'clock with no prospect of waking when the little mouse climbed upon his bed and deliberately bit his finger until ho awakened. Fritzy had understood tho whole thing and seeing that he could be of service to his benefactor had hastened to act. Such acute precoption on tho part of an inferior animal is certainly worthy of remark.

had it not been enjoined. Tho above is the complaint in brief. Tho attorneys of Mr. Braden have as yet taken no action but it is certain that a demurrer to the complaint will be filed within the next day or so. The contest promises to be a most interesting one as the best of legal talent is ongagod on both sides.

ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR

The Uity Sues H. S. Braden and His Bondsman, Joliu S. Brown, for $6,000, Last, week .Kennedy ,V Kennedy, find ci tho city of Crawfordsville suit in the circuit court against Hocter S. Braden and his bondsman, John S. Brown, for 8(5,000 damages, which it is alleged the lit.y lost by being enjoined bv the (iofendont from putting in an electric light [plant for commercial purposes. Tho complaint, which is a lengthy one recites that tho city expended §1,500 in attorney fees that by being enjoined it lost the advantage of §500 expended in investigating light systems and §50 expended in advertising: that had it not been enjoined it could have commenced doing commercial lighting by July 1, 1891, and have mado §'100 a month* ... 1.UIU1..UUJ, ntuuu unuur an aren or that the injunction forced the city to

The Ladies Hold a Grand Initiation and Banquet Last Evening. The ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star entertained in a most hospitable way on I eb. 25 in honor of six neophites from Ladoga who wore duly ushered into the mysteries and privileges of the organization. Tho chapter rooms were well filled by a splendid assemblage and the following Ladogaians wore initated: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Good bar, Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Biddle, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ashby. After the work had been performed, those presont to the number of sixty wore ushered into the banquet hall where a magnificent repast had boen spread. All the delicacies of the season loaded the tables, and for no short season did the ladies and gentlemen linger at tho board. There were a number of excellent speeches mado by the nowly initiated and by the older members of the order as well. It was a late hour when tho guests doparted and the evening's entertainment will long be remembered as one of the most pleasant and enjoyable occasions in tho order's history.

An Excitine: Flight.

There was a lively time in the south end Wednesday night, and it was all owing to an r.nfortunate and deplorable misunderstanding. How lamentable il is, to be sure, that so many of tho difficulties and trials of this life are duo entirely and sorely to misunderstandings. It seems in the case in hand that the wife of a well known workman misunderstood the intentions or her husband. She thought ho was goin^to the French 1(oily Company, and according received at the fireside as a caller, 11 young gentlomen of a decidedly sportive tomporment. Now it happened that the

I111-

band did not go to see the gay girls,but came homo. It made him Tairly gasp for breath when he walked in to see the young sporting man sitting in his arm chair, smoking his pipe, drinking from bis mug, and ogling his wife in a most loving manner. Ho didn't gasp for breath long, howover, but with a yell rushed upon the usurper of his rights. .1 here was a dull thud on the floor a dull bang against tho wall, a crash of glass, si series of hard cracks as though some one was getting the worst of it, a handful of auburn locks thrown high in the an, the bursting open of a door and tho echoes of the footsteps of pursued arid pursuer retreating down the street. That was all, but it was enough, and it is thought hereafter tho sportive young man will stay severely away from the ho pitablo hearth of the man who gave him such a warm welcome.

Filth Monday in February, No one alive now has ever before seen a February with five Mondays in it, and no one to bo born for many years yet will ever see one again. It has been over two hundred years since such a thing occurred, and a corresponding period must elapse before it can occur again. How happy and thankful we should all bo that we have lived in a year which had a February which had live Mondays in it. Just think of the benighted thousands that have died without living to see this happy day and tho thousands yet to be born who will not live to seo its recurrence.
